A group of local stylists and cosmotologists are hoping a plethora of tasty treats will help raise money for a special-needs teen’s risky heart procedure.

Kershaw town officials have suggested a seemingly unusual location as a possible spot for a helicopter landing pad.

Earlier this year, Kershaw teen Talf Wrenn told Town Council about his Eagle Scout project, which involves building a landing pad within the town limits. The only favor he asked is that council provide a location.

At their April 14 meeting, council members suggested the landing pad be installed on the driving range at the Kershaw Golf Course. Previous options proved to be unsuitable.

Lancaster County Council will follow up on a number of issues from the past several months, including arming animal control officers, uses for the historic courthouse and the results of a recently released workforce study, when it meets Tuesday night.

As part of its long list of scheduled discussion items, council will consider a policy allowing animal control officers to arm themselves with long guns as protection from dangerous animals.

Indian Land Elementary School’s fifth grade is about to make school history of sorts this week with its first bona fide school play.

And they’re going all out with a production of Disney’s “Peter Pan.”

The play is set for a one-night showing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 26, in the Lancaster High School auditorium. Tickets are $2 at ILES, $4 the night of the show. Proceeds will help finance future productions.

When a detective from the York County Sheriff’s Office called Cindy Lyles on April 1, she naturally thought it was an April Fool’s joke.

After all, why would a car stolen in September 2009 from her Lyles Motors car lot turn up now?

But that’s exactly what happened.

York County Detective Branham told Lyles that her missing gold, 2001 Honda Accord EX had been found. And even more surprising to Lyles, the detective said it had been recovered during the bust of a suspected theft ring.

Fashion trends come and go, but there’s one fad several Lancaster County Council members would like to see eliminated – baggy pants.
Councilman Cotton Cole broached the subject at County Council’s April 5 meeting after a conversation he had with a constituent. Cole said it was just one of many calls he’s received from residents tired of seeing people wearing pants too low on their hips.
Cole asked his fellow council members to consider adopting some sort of ban on baggy pants.
